Todd Snider – Broke (Guitar)

C                           Am
Credit complications in the checkout line

C                               Am
Its an awkward situation almost every time

               F               G                        C              G
They keep your card behind and they keep your groceries too, yeah they do

        Am                       G
You try telling everybody it's a terrible mistake

            C                              F
But you can tell they don't believe that's true

            C        G               C
They see it all over you when you're broke

C                        Am
I hung my head down as I walked out the door

C                    Am
I'm never ever going back to that store

             F
They treated me like a bum in front of

G          C          G
everyone behind me in line

      Am
It was all my friends and neighbors

G
looking at me

C                             F
Like I committed some kind of crime

            C             G
I guess you ain't worth a dime when your

C
broke

       F                  C
Now if I had money like I did in my day

F                             C
Just out of spite I think I'd give it away

  F                      C
I thought it didn't even matter anyway and

        D                  G
And the more I thought the madder I got

C                      Am
Time I got home, I was seein' red

C                          Am
I pulled a gun up out from under my bed

        F                   G
I put a sock on my head and into the

        C            G
night I flew, away I flew

Am                            G
The next thing you know I had blood on my

          C                   F
But I had money in my pockets too

          C                G
You never know what you'll do until

       C
you're broke

       F                  C
Now if I had money like i did in my day

F                          C
I'd buy a car and drive us far away

F                            C
I guess you know i have this debt to pay

   D              G
To society, honey wait for me

C                          Am
With good behavior I'll be out in seven years

C                      Am
Don't worry over me or shed any tears

            F                 G                    C              G
I learned a lot in here and I know what a chance I blew, chance I blew

Am                            G
The next time I won’t make the same mistake

C                         F
I'll shoot the camera out too

             C                           G              C
I'm learning all kinds of things you can do when you're broke
